[c-nsp] Configuration Suggestions..the best method..?

[Tantsura, Jeff]

There is no best method.
The first one is a layer 2 method, so if you need to transport VLAN's
(trunking) etc
you will use this one.
The second method is a layer 3 one, you could see it as a regular layer
3 logical interface.

Hope this helps,

Jeff

Hey Everyone,

I am building out a  customer that needs more than 1000Mbps of sustained
bandwidth. Because of the customer equipment, etherchannel was suggested
as the means to do this (it is compatible with this customers
equipment).

I am running a 6509 with Dual SUP720's in IOS mode only (no cat
software).

It was pointed out that there are really two different ways to configure
the switch - I guess my question is which is the best (lowest overhead,
etc)? Hopefully someone out there has been down this road before.

TIA

Two methods:

!
interface Port-channel2
 no ip address
 switchport
 switchport access vlan 10
 switchport mode access
!
interface GigabitEthernet7/1
 no ip address
 switchport
 switchport access vlan 10
 switchport mode access
 channel-group 2 mode on
!
interface GigabitEthernet8/1
 no ip address
 switchport
 switchport access vlan 10
 switchport mode access
 channel-group 2 mode on
!
interface Vlan10
 description Customer_Name
 ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.0.0
 no ip redirects
 no ip unreachables
!



And then there is this way:



!
interface Port-channel2
description Customer_Name
ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.0.0
 no ip redirects
 no ip unreachables
!
interface GigabitEthernet7/1
 description Customer_Name EtherChannel Interface #1  no ip address
channel-group 2 mode on !
interface GigabitEthernet8/1
 description Customer_Name EtherChannel Interface #2  no ip address
channel-group 2 mode on !
